OUT OF DISTRICT TUITION - $8,000,000
TRANSPORTATION -$2.5,000,000
TOTAL $10.5,000,000
Let those numbers sink into you for a moment. Now the TOTAL 2016 budget is only $136,000,000. So that works out to be about 8% of the ENTIRE budget spent on somewhere around 150 kids that must be sent elsewhere because LPS can not provide them with the REASONABLE and APPROPRIATE education that they are entitled to by law.
This cost is roughly the same year after year.It just seems to me for that amount of money we could be developing our own programs where we save and recapture some of that money. Not to mention, everybody feels more comfortable at home.
Now I wish I could take credit for this idea but honestly it wasn't my original thought. Outgoing LSC member RICK STARBARD has been sing this song for a few years. Looking at the numbers for the past few years, it appears that no one at LPS cared much for the music.
